Description Michelle Bowe 2021-02-26 18:58:14 UTC
SUMMARY

Connection which can reach the internet is reported as limited

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to a wireless network
2. See notification of limited connectivity and corresponding applet icon
3. check that you can reach the internet

OBSERVED RESULT

I can reach the internet, so notification is in error

EXPECTED RESULT

Either:
1. I can't reach the internet, so the notification was not in error
 or 
2. Upon sending/receiving network traffic beyond the LAN, the icon changes to indicate full functionality of connection.

Arch has changed the connectivity check URL. Upgrade networkmanager and restart.

False limited connectivity notification

STEPS TO REPRODUCE*
1. Connect WiFi receiver (on top of connected Ethernet)
2. Connect to WiFi network
3. Unplug WiFi receiver
4. Every 30-60 minutes receive "Limited connectivity" notification

OBSERVED RESULT
I have internet connection (the ping was started after the notification), yet it shows me that the network is limited. Goes away after 30-60 seconds

EXPECTED RESULT
No notification, since I didn't lose the connection

Comment 5 Olivier BELLEUX 2023-06-15 12:24:29 UTC
Same on opensuse 15.5:
– on wifi : applet with orange exclamation mark (!)
– on ethernet : applet with orange triangle

Notification :
"connectivité limité Ce périphérique semble être connecté à un réseau mais ne peut accéder Internet."
 "limited connectivity This device appears to be connected to a network but cannot access the Internet."

I can reach the internet normally so it is an erroneous indication.
